Big Ben Pub Trieste

I visited many many times over the last 5 years with my wife (Italian). The chicken or other food is always very good here. The staff are always very pleasant with quick service. 2 small complaints. Stock some red wine. You don't have to put it on the menu if it doesn't fit with the befed style/ marketing approach but why not have some simple red wine for somebody who wants it? It is purely nonsensical. Second. The staff often put the customer in a place close to others so they have to walk less to the nicer areas of the beautiful garden. I will not make fuss about this. I understand it helps the (genuinely hard working) waiters (and is often very busy!). Last night we ask to go outside (as we always do) and despite not being very busy we are put at a table with a slight roof overhanging it (well, i suppose you say a patio, but certainly not enclosed, a small area of a few tables, and we are right at the edge so almost outside the area). After the meal we have our quick customary 1 cigarette each (before leaving) and are told by (a nice and very polite) waitress halfway through our cigarette if we could please move to table just slightly further away. Why when you seat us (a different waiter, also very nice) after we ask to sit outside do you not mention you are putting us in a no smoking outside area? No signs anywhere say no smoking in this area either. It spoils the dinner. If you want to seat the outside customer as near as possible, please at least mention is no smoking in this small area we never sat in before. I think it is great that they have this small outside area for non smokers but just need to be sure to mention it. I will return again. It is a case of an absolutely excellent (and as such very popular) restaurant that has room for some small and practical improvements to become 100%. See you next time. Thank you for the always excellent food and always pleasant staff over the years.

large restaurant, good for groups, that sells their own craft beer and "polleto" (marinated chicken cooked on a spit). very tasty and well seasoned. comes with fries and a slice of bread. The fact that you are not allowed silverware is a big nuisance as eating chicken dipped in mayo with your hands on a night out is not the most fantastic experience. The sandwiches are good also. The service has varied on our visits.Counter staff and host are super friendly, waitresses have been excellent, one waiter in particular almost put us off from ever returning.

Great place, Great food, very kind staff

Simple, fast food kind of venue. The hen is good. The staff is friendly.

Tasty food and very good atmosphere! Price relatively expensive. Staff very friendly, although the whole place seemed to be understaffed, so we ended up waiting a long time for our bills. Generally, I'd recommend :)

Wow!! This club brings back memories!!

A must in Trieste especially if you are looking for real grilled chicken. Perfect place to visit with friends and family or to have a date. The ambiance is pretty chill, great service, and the food is delicious. Highly recommended. A ordered the grilled chicken with has price of 12 euros and beers go to 2.5 euros and up. There's a section on the menu for kids that include of course smaller portions, very thoughtful as the food is a lot and no one wants to waste any. Vegetarian food is available as well. The food doesn't come with fork or knife to eat Yep you have to use to hands but these are available if needed. I encourage you to use your hands. It's close to Barcola so after eating you can enjoy a nice walk.

Very tasty place, services and food♥️??
